How do you manage to break your jasper jigs? I have only broken one, because I knocked my router off the table, lol.

Good question. I have broken two in 10 years ( still have four of them ) Threw one in the floor board of my car with the router still attached. Wasn't paying attention when I closed the door, and didn't notice the jasper jig was wedged beside the seat and sticking out the door . Slammed the door shut............snap.

The other was the same as you , knocked the **** router off the table .......snap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Depends on the kind of router you use I guess. If the base of the router has a recessed mounting screw hole/thread insert, then it is difficult to tighten them all the way without weakening the plastic. The countersunk area of the plastic is very weak and brittle and I cracked my first one simply by trying to tighten it on the base of the router. I've damaged a few this way--I guess maybe my router is to blame then? Then I broke another one by dropping it (again, where the countersunk mounting holes are).
